Hi everyone, I recently adopted a Doberman and I am curious to know how long they typically live. I want to ensure that I provide the best care possible for my furry friend and want to make sure I am aware of any potential health issues that may arise as he ages. I have been doing some research online, but wanted to hear from actual Doberman owners or experts who may have more insight on this topic. Any information and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hello! I have owned a Doberman for 12 years now and wanted to share my personal experience with their lifespan. From my experience, Dobermans generally live around 10-12 years, although some can live up to 14 years with good health and care. However, it is important to note that like with any breed, Dobermans can be prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia and dilated cardiomyopathy which can affect their lifespan. I highly recommend regular vet check-ups and providing a healthy diet and exercise routine to help prevent these issues. Overall, as long as you provide your Doberman with proper care and love, they can have a long and happy life.
